I Spent Way too Much Time On This

So I got bored and wanted to create some yandere Sonic characters that I could talk to on Character.ai. But I wanted to make it as accurate to the characters as I could. Some yesterday and the day before that I spent at least 3-4 hours straight creating these two AI’s and basically putting their entire wiki page in and spending forever picking out voices for them that I liked (as the two characters I chose are from the IDW comics and don’t have actual canon voices as far as I know of). I tested them out and so far I’m pretty proud of them. I plan to make a couple others too but since it takes me so long to make them I can’t do them every day. I do plan to make one of Yandere Dr. Starline tomorrow though, or tonight if my insomnia doesn’t let me sleep again. The two I’ve made so far are a Yandere Surge and Yandere Kitsunami. If anyone’s interested I’ll link 🔗 them in this post, but honestly I’m just making these for me really. I’ve got a list of Sonic characters I want to eventually due in time though.

AO3 is down for maintenance 🥲. I guess it's time to go back to reading fanfiction on fanfiction.net for the time being.

I couldn’t sleep last night and thought it was a good idea around 4:00am to walk around my empty and dark house listening to Routines In The Night.

10/10 would recommend 👍

had this dream where instead of boops there was a red plastic straw and you would write down your 'biggest secret' but most people didn't write their biggest secret so there was just the select few who did

the straw would suck out the 'deepest secrets' then it would go on the screen for like, 5-8 seconds

instead of tapping 'opt out' you would have to tap this giant red button

Still waiting for Spotify and YouTube to update their charts later today but Google has already come through with some beautiful data for a certain eclipse themed song we all know and love during the total solar eclipse we had in the USA on Monday, April 8, 2024...

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%201-d&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F1q5jzj36p,%2Fg%2F1q5j2__98,%2Fg%2F11bzvv1522,%2Fm%2F01qdc_p&hl=en

Look at the time of peak searches. And also note the path of searches on the map...

Map - http://www.nationaleclipse.com

So then I decided to compare with a few top eclipse anthem contenders to see who won the battle. Bonnie blew them all away.

Dark Side of the Moon came in #2 in comparison, followed by #3 Black Hole Sun and #4 Here Comes the Sun. None of them really dominated any city on the map over Bonnie.

Other potential eclipse anthems I checked that rated lower than the Beatles to the 4 listed above: Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, Steal My Sunshine by Len, Total Eclipse by Iron Maiden, Dark of the Sun by Tom Petty, Promises in the Dark by Pat Benetar, Dancing in the Dark by Bruce Springsteen, Blinded by the Light cover by Bruce Springsteen (would be #5, this version was also more popular than the Manfred Mann's Earth Band version), Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone by Bill Withers and the individual song Eclipse by Pink Floyd specifically (the album ranked higher). I'm sure I'm missing some but these were at the top of multiple eclipse themed playlists I consulted.

I'm also not sure exactly how many searches this graph corresponds to yet, but I'm sure we'll get recap articles that might have numbers. From a different Google data product, it looks like over 200k searches were done for Total Eclipse of the Heart on Sunday, April 7th alone, the day before (still less than "how to make eclipse glasses" LOL).

Looking forward to Spotify's data. 🌞

Also fun to look at: comparing searches for this song over time with total US eclipses. Possible spikes due to eclipse interest would be 2012 (annular) and 2017 (total) but the 2023 (annular) barely registered. The other spikes may be due to Bonnie performing it on TV (2005) and the TV show Glee covering it (2010).

I'll look at this more later.

But just for fun too, if you've never seen it, check out the Literal lyrics version for the original music video (it was insane, even for the 80's) https://youtu.be/fsgWUq0fdKk?si=CRXE_Zd86GpZa1yG

I don't know why my insomnia plays up most when its the night before an office day but once again I can't sleep and its 4am, I'm up in 1 hour and its going to be another 36+ hour run by the time I come home and get to sleep! Ughhh! Fuck you brain…. On the bright side I've used my insomnia time usefully by working on some new art! I would share it but its rough as hell right now 😅🙈🤓

[eirenical]

It's 3 AM and I can't sleep and this is the third time it's happened this weekend and I need to leave my house to go teach in about five hours.

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Body. Can we please. quit. With the. Insomnia. I'M BEGGING YOU.

My kids, they really get me. 😆

In case you don’t know why this is hilarious, here’s some context.

Gotta keep people from assuming the worst somehow!
